We kick off with the Grafham Grand Prix on the 27th (not strictly next year, I know) and the Bloody Mary on the 9th, but does anyone have dates for any other epic handicap events?

| The RS800 website says the Glyn Charles pursuit will be 15th May 2010. I can't confirm that as the HISC website doesn't have a 2010 fixtures list yet. |

Medway Dinghy Regatta, free polo shirts and all, will be on 10/11 July 2010. The Marathon starts at Medway YC and zig-zags down to the South Kent buoy. A real classic race with lots of long blasting legs (in the right wind). Course record for the 26 miles is around 2 hours!

Thats the third different date I have heard for the event. The Northampton SC web site says it is on Saturday 30th Jan. Is there a NOR online somewhere or an event website?
